We are looking for Singaporean Chinese dating couples and Singaporean Chinese single men to participate in our study that looks at the interrelationship among hormonal levels, physical traits (i.e. facial shape) and dating behavior. You will be required to do the following:
1. Provide saliva sample
3. Complete a set of questionnaires
Each participant will be given S$10 upon completing the study. The study lasts for approximately 1 hour.
Please take note of the following before signing up for the study:
1) If you are currently dating someone, please make sure that both you and your partner sign up for the study. This is important as we will need the data from both you and your partner. You are free to sign up for a different session from your partner.
2) Individuals with one or a combination of the following are not eligible to participate in this research:
a) Disorders involving the endocrine system (e.g., hyperthyroidism, hypergonadism, hypogonadism).
b) Taking hormonal or steroidal preparation/medication (e.g., birth control pill, anabolic steroid).
c) Had cosmetic/corrective surgery that involved alterations to their face and/or hands.
d) Have any physical deformity with regards to their face or hands.
e) Have facial hair that cannot be removed (e.g., due to religious reasons).
f) Have piercings in the face/head that cannot be removed (e.g., ear piercing).
